About Our Investment Focus

We invest in accelerating growth and expansion stage companies.

We invest with other venture funds, often leveraging pro-rata rights, although it is not required. Ideally, we like to see at least one other institution or venture capital firm participating in the round.

In addition, we serve as an advisor to Pritzker Group Venture Capital (PGVC) and other leading institutions and large family offices. Our advisees lead or co-lead transactions. Hence, with a company’s permission, we often refer quality direct investment opportunities to our limited partners.

Stage

Growth stage to Expansion stage rounds. Typically, C rounds or later. On initial investment, our companies often have north of $20 million in revenue. We like to see that a company has the capability to be profitable within two years and to exit within four years. Although we don’t invest out of our fund in companies at the Seed and Series A stage, we match a select few of the earlier stage companies we see to our network of early stage investors.

$500,000 to $20,000,000+

For investments larger than $5,000,000, we work with our institutional and family office limited partners in our fund, which have the desire to directly invest up to $50 million.

Sectors

Our focus is in the Software and Information Technology sectors, including: E-commerce, Mobile, Social, Business Process Outsourcing, Information Services and Tech-Enabled Services. We seek companies that serve a large industry or multiple industries with a platform or marketplace, and are the category leaders in their respective sectors.

Geography

Since the majority of tech category leaders are founded in the U.S., we tend to invest in U.S.-headquartered private companies. However, up to 20% of our fund may invest in late stage companies internationally.
